Five Alive

out of control
losing your soul to devils in holes with game all know
forgotten friends died for you sins
you can't make amends in role
- chorus -
brother you're so, so defective
so wrong
he don't know he's infected
you're just so, so wrong
a happy child drinks five alive
freaks bee-bop-a-loo-la yet he's born to be wild
his claim to fame, he met big daddy kane on an amtrak train to ronkonkoma
* repeat chorus *
flashing cash flow at every show
got blow in his nose and stains on his t-shirt
the same old scene like hot wire dreams replace the part where ends justify the means
* repeat chorus 2x *
